Restorations

Restoration/ fillings are common dental procedures aimed at repairing and restoring teeth that have been damaged by decay, wear or trauma. These procedures help to restore the function, structure, and appearance of the affected teeth. During the procedure, the decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the remaining space is filled with a filling material to restore the tooth's shape and function. There are different types of dental fillings available, including amalgam (metal) fillings, composite (tooth-coloured) fillings, and glass ionomer fillings. The choice of filling material depends on factors such as the location of the cavity, the extent of the decay, and the patient's preferences.
